1 Holy Name of Jesus April 15, 2018 Third Sunday of Easter Roman Catholic Church 6150 Allentown Boulevard Harrisburg, PA PASTORAL STAFF Very Rev. Edward J. Quinlan Pastor Reverend Michael G. Metzgar Parochial Vicar Deacon Joseph J. Wrabel Permanent Deacon Deacon Jerome T. Foerster Permanent Deacon MASSES Weekends: Saturday Vigil 5:00 p.m. Sunday 8:00 a.m., 10:15 a.m., 12:00 noon, 6:00 p.m. Weekdays: (Weekday schedule subject to change - please see inside bulletin) Mon-Thu.6:30 a.m., 8:00 a.m. Friday..6:30 a.m., 8:30 a.m. Saturday 8:30 a.m. "God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2: 9-11) THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER The disciples were not content with staying in the Upper Room and just believing in Jesus themselves. They could not do that. The Lord demanded that they go out and tell others the Good News that the forgiveness of sins and eternal life were available for all people everywhere. The disciples had to become apostles. They had to become evangelists. The disciples could not keep the wonders of the New Life in Christ to themselves. Nor can we. Evangelization is fundamental to Christianity. No one is called to be a Christian for himself or herself. We are called to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to others. Every Sunday we come to Mass. We receive the great gift of God s grace in the Word and in the Sacrament. And then we are commissioned at every Mass to take what we have received and to bring it out to the world. If we are not going to take Christ from here, then why did we come here? Go in peace glorifying the Lord with your life. Go, and announce the Gospel of the Lord. Go and proclaim to the world that Jesus lives. - Excerpted from Rev. Msgr. Joseph A. Pellegrino, Diocese of St. Petersburg, FL Visit us on the web at
